This is the last song that appeared on the 21st century playlist today. I really enjoy going through these lists to hopefully gain some insight into what is really behind these songs. I also like that Koand can still retain a playful approach to the serious difficulties that we are facing.
What I have been shocked to learn is that patterns of tricks that brought down Napoleon have also been applied to Koand and hopefully we can get him (and me) out of it this time.
Suspect My Tears lyrics
Elvis Costello
Do you remember how to say please?
You've had your own way for such a long time
Your lash is sweet down, I dry your cheek
You think I'm powerless when you speak
You may have something, I don't deny
You look so beautiful when you cry
If I seem unconcerned
Perhaps it's time you learned
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When and where you need it
Do you remember how bad it felt?
Big eyes would fill up
Your lip would tremble
You want to hurt me
But then you melt
You always promise to lose control
I learned a trick that you used to play
I'm tired of you having it your own way
With the power to persuade
Beginning to cascade
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When and where you need it
If you be weeping, I may be cheating or just laughing inside
If you're so special, then that's why in vicious is your chance to decide
Two hypocrites collide
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
Where and when you need it
When you need it
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
You're not the only one who can turn it on
When and where you need it
When you need it
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
I'll cry until you suspect my tears
